Getting Started Overview

Getting Started - Overview

ReadyStackGo is a self-hosted platform for easy installation, updating, and management of complex microservice stacks based on Docker.

What is ReadyStackGo?

ReadyStackGo (RSGO) solves the problem of complex deployment of microservice architectures in on-premise environments. Instead of manual Docker commands, complex Compose files, or Kubernetes configurations, you get:

• A single admin container that manages the entire stack
• A guided setup wizard for initial installation
• A modern web UI for management
• Manifest-based deployments for reproducible installations

Who is ReadyStackGo for?

On-Premise Customers

Customers who operate software in their own data centers and need a simple installation solution.

Partners & Resellers

Partners who need to install and maintain software stacks for their customers.

Development Teams

Teams that need identical environments for development, testing, and production.

Edge & IoT

Installations in isolated or restricted network environments.

Core Concepts

Admin Container

The central container that manages all other containers. It is the only container you need to start manually.

Manifests

Declarative descriptions of the desired state of a software stack. Manifests define which containers should be deployed in which versions.

Setup Wizard

A guided installation assistant that simplifies the initial setup (admin user, organization, connections, installation).

Feature Flags

Cross-context switches for enabling/disabling functional features.

Technical Requirements

• Docker Engine (version 20.10 or higher)
• Linux, Windows, or macOS with Docker support
• Access to Docker Socket (/var/run/docker.sock)
• Ports: 8080 (HTTP), 8443 (HTTPS)
• Optional: Custom TLS certificate (otherwise self-signed)
